“This is f*****g bad.”
Terra began, and I turned to face both her and Gwen.
“It’s a barrier veil,”
I said quickly, shocked.
“What?!”
Gwen moved deeper into the shadows, her eyes now raised.
My heart began to hammer hard against my chest. This wasn’t good. This was a barrier spell, meant to impede the use of magic.
I was about to say something when, out of nowhere, several balls of bright flames broke through the veil, heading for the quarters in a hurry and causing great explosions around them. The intensity of its explosion flung me away, and I collapsed against a hard surface, feeling pain over my body.
I groaned weakly as my breathing came out short. I couldn’t feel my body, and every attempt I made to move it created an unbearable pain, eating through my flesh and aching my bones. The explosion had badly wounded me, and I wasn’t healing. Oh, goddess, Naomi. I had to get to her. I tried connecting to Leonardo through our pack’s mind link, but I couldn’t.
The entire witches’ quarters were covered with smoke and the stench of burning flesh. This was the work of witches, and they attacked the quarters first in order to get rid of the witches.
I tried connecting with my wolf. He was injured as well but was in a much better state. I gave my wolf full control. I had to find my sister. I couldn’t stop the fear that kept stabbing my chest at the thought of harm coming to her. I wouldn’t be able to bear it. I began to shift into my gargantuan gray wolf. I groaned at the murderous pain that had begun to pierce my very soul, as my transformation was slow and agonizing because of my wounded state.
The pain lasted for a few minutes, and I was able to shift into my wolf. Through the sharp sight of my wolf, I could see several bodies of witches lying on the earth, while some were alive but badly wounded as well.
Without wasting time, my wolf and I sprinted off, heading to the castle. The entire pack was covered with smoke from explosions. The fear within me grew more intense as I realized a war had broken out. My wolf sniffed the air, and all we could smell was the stench of burning corpses and deaths. Also… I paused, completely frozen on the spot. I recognized another familiar but unsettling odor; it was that of vampires and rogues. Plenty of them. My blood turned cold. The Dark Circle. I could never be mistaken. Why were they here?
Oh no! As much as I hated the sudden realization, I knew why they were there.
They were here for Naomi. More than ever, I had to find her.
I fought the pain and drowsiness clouding my vision. I was losing a lot of blood, but I kept running faster, moving past the chaos and fighting going on around me. Even some of the guests that had attended the party had joined the fight. I was almost at the castle when a thundering growl echoed into the air, rippling through the trees and causing a tremble against the earth.
I approached the castle gates, and just then, I noticed Killian burst through the doors in a frenzy.
“Find Naomi!”
He growled loudly in his half-beastly form. He was sharing full control with his wolf, and his eyes were a terrifying pair of bloodshot irises.
He dashed off in a different direction, moving quickly in the darkness. He seemed to be trailing something. Naomi’s scent. I followed him right away.
He was on his way to the packhouse, which was about a mile away. My wolf moved faster on its paws. Instead of stopping at the packhouse, Killian moved past it, heading into the woods.
I kept on following him into the woods. He took a short route and burst out in a large meadow that covered a wide distance between the packhouse and the witches’ quarters.
Killian stopped abruptly, causing my wolf to halt instantly. I moved my eyes past him to the large meadow where another fight was going on.
“Naomi,”
My voice echoed weakly in the corners of my wolf’s mind. She was surrounded by the Dark Circle’s army of feral wolves and vampires. But she wasn’t alone. She was fighting alongside some of Killian’s warriors, including Morgan.
I joined the fight, regardless of the unusual weakness in my bones, and it had started to affect my wolf as well. I moved closer to where she was, but before I could get to her, Killian did. It was then that I noticed something was wrong with my sister; she was wounded in her neck and bleeding profusely. She wasn’t healing. Another careful look and I realized it wasn’t just a wound. It was something far worse than that, something that made both Killian’s and my blood turn cold.
Valerie’s point of view
I was forced to step out of the castle and keep watch over the pack during the ball. My conversation with Naomi a few hours ago left me completely worried, especially about her dreams, and that worried me more. Maybe we should have canceled the ball after all. The pack had invited many guests to attend from within North Central and beyond, and because of that, we had lowered the protection spell guarding the pack. I was outside in the darkness when I felt the sudden shift in the air. It was almost unnoticeable, but I felt it. I pulled up the hood of my cloak, covering my hair properly. I sauntered back to the castle, heading to the ball in search of Lorenzo.
“Come with me,”
I left the grand hall with Lorenzo and we headed to the northern borders of the pack.
“What’s happening, Val?”
Lorenzo asked, glancing sideways.
“I don’t know, there’s a slight shift in the air, I can’t describe it. Can’t you feel it?”
I asked, and he shook his head. This wasn’t just paranoia; I could feel the sick shift in the air current. I turned to Lorenzo. “We must raise the protection spell, covering the entire pack,”
I said, and Lorenzo’s brows furrowed.
“No one will be able to go in or out,”
he began and I nodded right away.
“Precisely,”
I hurried to the borderline of the Pack’s territory. Lorenzo caught up with me, and I gripped his hand to channel as much magic as possible that will be needed to cover the entire pack.
We were halfway into raising the protection spell when a veil appeared up in the sky, covering the entire pack.
“What the hell is that?”
I heard Lorenzo mutter behind me, and the fear in my gut rose.
“It’s trouble,”
I muttered under my breath, “It’s a black veil. We are stripped of our magic, and-“
my words got stuck as several balls of flames fell from the veil, scattering around the Pack.
“Bloody hell, it’s heading for the witches’ quarters,”
Lorenzo’s voice filtered into the night.
“This is exactly what Naomi feared. They are here for her,”
I sounded, feeling a churn within me.
“Who are they?”
“The Dark Circle, and they’ve cut us off. Oh goodness, we need to move now, Lorenzo. We need to help,”
I hastened back to our horses.
“What’s the plan? We need to inform Killian,”
Lorenzo was behind me.
“With the looks of things, he already knows. Everyone knows,”
I was about to get on my horse when we were surrounded by the Dark Circle minions. Feral wolves. And they were rogues too. They kept spilling into the borders.
